    Default Save QChartView as PNG

    I want to save a chart as PNG. I'm doing this:

    Qt Code:
    1. QChartView* chartView = new QChartView;
    2. chartView->setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing);
    3. chartView->resize(printer.width(), printer.width() * 0.60);
    4.  
    5. QChart* chart = new QChart;
    6. chart->legend()->hide();
    7. chartView->setChart(chart);
    8.  
    9. QDateTimeAxis* xAxis = new QDateTimeAxis;
    10. xAxis->setFormat("dd.MM.yyyy");
    11. chart->addAxis(xAxis, Qt::AlignBottom);
    12.  
    13. QValueAxis* yAxis = new QValueAxis;
    14. chart->addAxis(yAxis, Qt::AlignLeft);
    15.  
    16. QLineSeries* series = new QLineSeries;
    17. series->append(data);
    18. series->setPointsVisible(true);
    19.  
    20. chart->addSeries(series);
    21. series->attachAxis(xAxis);
    22. series->attachAxis(yAxis);
    23.  
    24. QPixmap p = chartView->grab();
    25. p.save("a.png", "PNG");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    The problem is that the axes are not shown. If I show the widget the axes are visible, but even then they are not saved in the PNG...

    Any idea how to make them appear in the image?

    Try using QWidget::render() instead of QWidget::grab():

    Qt Code:
    1. QPixmap p( chartView->size() );
    2. chartView->render( &p );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
